Turkey: open up to foreign investment

Growing FDI flows ripe with opportunity

Why Turkey?

The Turkish government is establishing a series of regulations and policies to promote foreign investment in the country – and it’s working. According to the latest World Investment Report UNCTAD, Turkey was the second-largest recipient of FDI in West Asia after Israel.

The creation and development of the Investment Support and Promotion Agency of Turkey (ISPAT), coupled with a series of incentives towards VAT exceptions, corporate tax receptions and social security employer premium contributions, have helped Turkey to increase its investment flows.

Although not yet an EU country, Turkey is a very attractive choice for foreign investors, especially those from Europe. Many wish to take advantage of the country’s special investment zones - however, doing business is still a complex endeavour for overseas companies if they don’t understand local regulation.
